Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility's nursing score outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we gave it a B+ for its nursing score. Our nursing grade assesses many subcategories, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was given a positive short-term care score. In fact, we awarded them a B in this area, which is one of our better. Short-term care grades are vital for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next best area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Moving on our last category of inspections, this nursing home received an F in this area. This grade was detrimental to this nursing home's overall score. With places that received this poor of an inspection grade, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, we also would like to point out that this facility was assessed significant government fines amounting to more than $100,000. This often suggests that a bad track record has been an issue for more than one year.
